Cities: Skylines II

Description

Platter: Custom Zoning Overhaul

Break free from the grid.

Platter completely reworks zoning in Cities: Skylines 2. It sits right between vanilla zoning and manual building plopping, giving you the control to create realistic neighborhoods, fill awkward gaps, and zone perfectly on curved roads without fighting the grid.

Key Features

• Manual Zoning: Place "Parcels" exactly where you want them. No more relying on the grid.

• Precision Snapping: Includes fully custom snapping options to align parcels perfectly and create exact layouts.

• Custom Setbacks: Place zones back from the road to create front yards or widen roads later without demolition.

• Curved Road Support: Finally zone seamlessly along curves.

• Vanilla Simulation: Parcels use the game's native logic for zoning. Buildings spawn based on actual demand, land value, and desirability.

How to Use

• Open the Platter tab from the zoning toolbar (or press Ctrl+P).

• Select a parcel size and, optionally, your desired zone type.

• Click to place the parcel manually — anywhere, at any angle.

Alpha/Experimental Warning

Platter is currently in ALPHA. This mod is experimental. While it is considered stable for testing, unexpected issues may occur.

• Backup your save before using this mod.

• Platter can be safely removed from a save by using the "Uninstall" button in the Mod Settings page.

Known Issues and FAQ

Grid Overrides: The vanilla grid may sometimes override the Parcel grid. Investigation and fix is underway.

Snapping Quirks: While custom snapping is included, snapping may sometimes act in unexpected ways depending on the angle. Improvements are planned.
